Escalation Hits DoriilJ^ront
By LIZ JONES
The word is out—residence hall rates are up again.
Increases fx'om $15 to $45 for the aca¬ demic year, effective summer quarter, and affecting o\er 4,000 students, were appi-oved Friday by the Board of Re¬ gents.
Just a year ago all room and board rates were raised $45 for the academic year, du«' to general increases in oper¬ ating costs.
This year rising costs of salaries <md operations were cited as the principal reasons for the increases.
Haggett and McMahon residents will pjiy the largest increases—both double and single rooms will be up .'ii45 to the new rates of .$915 and !*!975 a year re¬ spectively.
Lander, Terry and Patterson double rooms will be up $.30 to $870 for the
academic year. Single rooms in Hansee and Patterson will also face a $.30 in¬ crease for a new rate of $915.
Hansee doubles will increase $15 to $795, and McCarty will remain at .$885.
To explain the inj'reases, J. Arthur I'ring!*', director of student residences, has ottered to speak to any interested group.
Gary Wick, chairman of the Resi¬ dence Halls Council, said the council will meet within a week to discuss the increases and may invite Pringle to the meeting.
Pringle pointed to wage increases as the most substantial cause of the rate raise.
"Right now we do not even eom|ily with the ,'*!I.HO per hour federal mini¬ mum wage law," Pringle said. "Al¬ though we are not required to, we would like to raise all our wages to this minimum by fall."
As of Jan. 1, most students employed by the residence halls have received 10 to 20 cents per hour I'aiscs. The in¬ creased rates would mean further raises in the forthcoming year, he said.
"Some 75 to 80 per cent of tho em- l>!oyes on our payioll are in the lower income categories, and will receive a greater percentage salary increase as a result of the all-University pay raise policy," Pringle said.
Wage raises, however, are only a part of the incieased operating costs.
"X^ot only does food cost more, but we buy more of It," Pringle said. Lib¬ eralized food policies allow dorm resi¬ dents to have a greater choice of menu and to return for second helpings.
Also, when closing hours were abol¬ ished last tall. Pringle said he was con¬ vinced that more of a security risk was incurred and therefore a night security

guaid was hired. This was a new eddi- lion to the payroll.
Starting next fall, the student gov- einmcnts in the residence halls v\ ill re-* ceive $1 per poi-.son each quarter for their program activities. This, too. is a new budget cxiH^n.se.
"We realize that ap;irtment rales and the cost of living have increa.se,' no¬ where near the extent that resir'ence hall lates ha\e," Pringle said.
"But we're in the Ixisiness of of[rring per.sonal service; apartments art .self- service."
".As long as we continue lo offer more services, our rates will rise with wage increases and inflation," he said.
Piingle suggested that in the futuregi or perhaps now, drastic changes in the services oil ered should be consir c-red.
"But now new costs have been falling on each other's heels," he said. "Tiie in- crea.ses are substantial, and it is unCor- tunatc."

The motorists* enemy, snow, took a shot at the University yesterday. Doug Meyers took the opportunity to sculpture a caricature of campus character Bernie Yang, while a mini- skirted student battled elements on her way to class. At least the skiers are happy.
'Pot' Committee to Begin Taking Student Interviews
Beginning t o m o r r o w, the ASUW Ad Hoc Committee on Marijuana U.sage uill be taking interviews of students on cam¬ pus.
The interviev\s will bo de¬ signed to test student attitudes and use of marijuana, amphet¬ amines and LSD. It is part of the committt'c's investigation of the marijuana issue on cam¬ pus.
"A legitimate interviewer will have an identification card with the ASUW seal impressed
on it. Only i)eople with this card are officially taking tho survey for the committee," wained committee chairman Bob Hall.
Hall also stressed that the committee interviewers will do e\eryihing possible,to keep the re.spon.s«'s anonymous. The y will not ask the name of the student they are interviewing and will not interview anyone they know.
The results will be u.sed in the committee's final report expected later this year.
Who Tuki Tiki?
A five-foot wood carved tiki was reported missing following Las Vegas Night on Saturday. Tho rented decoration was ap¬ parently taken from the Main Lounge of tho HUB by some¬ one attending the affair.
Anyone with knowledge con¬ cerning the incident is re¬ quested to report any infor¬ mation to 205 HUB.
Conflict in YRs Is Likely Again
Likelihood of another con¬ flict within the campus Young Republicans became apparent yestei'day with announcement of conflicting i)lans for holding the club's annual election meet¬ ing.
Some of the club's member¬ ship plan to hold a meeting called by petition Feb. 1 for the purpose of electing club oil leers for the coming year.
Club President Rich Lance¬ field, however, iu a letter re¬ leased Sunday, has called an election meeting for Feb. 20.
According to Sue Johnson, club member who helped spear¬ head the ijctition drive within tho group, the club's by-laws stipulate that the membership can constitutionally call a spe¬ cial meeting at any time with a petition bearing signatures of a majority of the club's members.
Concerning the election meet¬ ing, Miss John.sori said, the by¬ laws say only that the election meeting is to be called winter quarter before Maich 15. They do not stipulate how the meet¬ ing is to be called, she said.
Lancefield, however, said yes¬ terday that he would not rec¬ ognize any election meeting lu'ld on Feb. 1.
"Recognition will not lie posited upon the outcome of any gathering assembling on Feb. I on grounds that sut-h a meeting would be <-ontrary to the clult's constitution," thu president said.
Lancefield added: "My obli¬ gation is to the entire member¬ ship. I have established through the letter, made available Sun¬ day for general distribution, a schedule which will enable mo as prcsitlent to assure that the piocedures outlined in the club's constitution are comiilied with."
One YR member, however. Barb Durkin, who also sits on the ASUW Board of Control, charged Lancefield and the rest of the club's leadership with "disinterest" and added:
"Lancefield has failed to call any meetings this (luarter. The meetings we have had -whicli Lancefield failed to attend — were called as a result of peti¬ tions organized by the club m.'nilv.M-^hip."
Lancefield said that the club's nominating counnittee will meet tonight at M. He added the connuittee. ihnired by member Richard Locke, "consists of representatives of tiie various points ot view known li> exist within the membership."
Miss Johnson indicated that Lancefield's refusal to recog¬ nize the petition-called nif-eting may be because he wishes to conduct a membership drive be¬ fore the election. That w;iy, she said, he would have a big¬ ger chance of seeing his prefer¬ ences win leadership positions.
It is kn«>wn that the major¬ ity of the tW Young Republi¬ cans hold \ie\vs contrary to th<»^e ot the chil>'s leadershii>.
The split manifested itself early last quarter, when the club attempted to hold a meet¬ ing to establish its position toward the national Young Re¬ publican Federation and the newly formed Young liepuljli- can Le;igue, a statewide organ¬ ization.
Tho efforts of the me.nber- ship were cuibed twice before the groui) finally took its stand.
Winter Gets Doctorate
Communications professor Willis L. Wintei", whose recent denial oi tenure brought about a petition drive by students ask¬ ing that the decision be recon¬ sidered, was granted a doctoral degree fiom the University of Illinois yesterday.
The a.ssistant professor's r.p- plication for tenure was denied by the Arts and Science College Council. Following the decision some 251 students in the School of Communications a\er half of the studi'nl body of the sc1kk)1 ---signed a petition asking Uni¬ versity authorities to reconsid¬ er the cK.*cision.
